Hooves Residence
The next morning, Dinky was snuggled in her bed with a smile on her face. The night with Spike was a bit of a disaster, but it didn't matter, as it was at that moment when she found her special somepony, and she couldn't be anymore happier.
DING DONG
The sound of the doorbell started to make Dinky move around a bit and groan. She didn't want to wake up because she was having a great dream, and that dream involved her and Spike on their wedding day.
DING DONG
Dinky groaned as she got up and rubbed the sleep out of her eyes, annoyed that her dream got ruined…well, better luck next time I suppose. Dinky got out and went to the living room, where she saw her mother peeping through the peephole in the door. Using her teeth she opened the door to see a surprising sight.
It was Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, and Diamond Tiara's father, Filthy Rich, and he was not too happy. “Ms. Hooves.” He said to her, “I just came over to give my apologies for my daughter's actions last night at the Schoolhouse dance.” He said.
Dinky, now curious, trotted up next to her mom, who looked surprised. Filthy saw Dinky and gave her a sympathetic look.
“Are you the one named Dinky?” He asked, with the filly nodding her head. “I just want to apologize for what my daughter did to you last night and your date. It was totally wrong of her to do so.” Diamond Tiara mumbled something under her breath, but she stopped when her father gave her a glare. “Don’t you even say anything!” He said with a glare.
Derpy gave a small smile. “It’s fine, it's all water under the bridge.”
Filthy frowned. “Still, I believe my daughter and her friend have something they would like to say.” He motioned to the two fillies, who went up to them.
“We’re sorry.” Only Silver Spoon looked apologetic, while Diamond Tiara still looked pretty peeved at this, why did she have to apologize? All she did was give out the truth!
Filthy looked at Dinky. “Now, I believe that your date was assaulted right? By my daughter?” He asked, with Dinkly nodding. “And who was your date?”
“Spike.” She said calmly.
“Spike..you mean the dragon who often hangs with Princess Twilight Sparkle?” He asked, with Dinky nodding her head. He gave one heck of a glare to Diamond Tiara, who gulped nervously.
Golden Oaks Library
Spike and Twilight were eating some breakfast together. Spike had a similar dream that Dinky was having and didn't want it to end, but alas, Twilight had to wake him up…well he could always take a nap later.
“So, what is her agenda for today?” Spike asked her.
Twilight smiled. “Well me and the girls are all going to have a picnic.” She said with a smile. As she said that, Spike then looked into his bowl of oatmeal with crushed gems and frowned about, the memories of him being left behind still lingering, but then.
“Maybe you should talk to Twilight about this.” Dinky’s voice said as he took a deep breath.
“Twilight, can I ask you something?” He said to her,
Twilight, while confused, nodded her head. “Sure, spike. What’s up?”
Spike sighed. “Why?” He asked. “Why is it that whenever you girls go out and do something I’m always left behind?” He asked, now getting a bit annoyed.
Twilight looked at him with confusion. “Spike what do-”
“Don’t even start!” He said. “Ever since we got to Ponyville, you are always with the girls, and most of the time I am not even invited to those things or just abandoned. Like the Grand Galloping Gala! I was so excited because I was going to spend time with all of you, and what happened? You all left me and I drowned my sorrows at Pony Joes! Then there was the time 3 weeks ago, when all of a sudden, you all go to meet Pinkie's sister, Maud, and do I go? Nope! But you took Owlowiscious, but not me!” He was not getting a bit angry.
“Are you embarrassed of me? Ashamed of me for being a dragon and not a pony?” His claws were now gripping the table so hard that the wood was starting to crack. Spike felt it and he then took a deep breath and his glare softened. “Why am I always the one to be left to clean and look after things while you all go off and have fun while I do work?” He asked her.
For the whole thing, Twilight was confused, but it then got to her about what he had meant, and she was feeling horrible about it. Spike was with her since day one, he was the one who hatched him and took care of him and how does she repay him? Leaving him behind she and the girls got to go have fun together, and Twilight was shedding a tear about it.
“Spike, I’m so-
DING DONG
Spike gave a deep sigh as he got up. “I got it.” He said calmly as he got up and walked to the door, leaving behind a remorseful and silently crying Twilight, when he got to the door he opened it up to see some family faces. “Dinky, Silver Spoon, Diamond Tiara, what are you doing here?” He asked.
“Spike!” Dinky said as he ran in and gave him a big hug, a hug that he returned. “Filthy came here wanting to say something.” Spie looked up at the rich pony who had a solemn look on his face, and he turned shi attention to the bullies. Silver Spoon looked apologetic, but Diamond Tiara secretly stuck her tongue out at him, which he growled a bit.
“Spike?” Twilight came to the door, her eyes a bit red from tears. “What’s going on?” She asked.
Filthy Rich looked at her and sighed. “Princess, I apologize for what happened last night and hope you can forgive my daughter for what she did to your son.”
Twilight looked surprised and so did Spike. “W-what do you mean?” She asked in confusion.
Silver Spoon spoke up. “At the dance, Diamond Tiara said some stuff, and Spike got angry and told her off, and it ended with her hitting him right in the face.”
As soon as she heard that, Twilight’s sadness went away and was quickly replaced by shock and…anger. The latter especially as she gave a really nasty glare at Diamond Tiara, who shrunk back a bit. “You hit Spike?” she asked in a calm, yet dangerous tone.
Filthy then got in front of his daughter. “Look, I understand you're upset and I am about this too, my point is I brought her here to apologize for her behavior.”
Twilight was still not too happy about hearing that her dragon getting hit…but she then felt a claw touch her hoof and she turned to Spike shaking his head as if today “Not worth it” It’s possible he knew that Twilight was about to say or do something and he didn't want her to stoop that low. Twilight looked at him and back at the frighted filly and sighed. “OK then.”
Filthy looked at his daughter who then sighed and looked up at her. “I’m sorry for hitting your pet gecko.”
YOINK
“Ow!” Her little insult resettled in Filthy using his muzzle to pull her tail back.
“Try again.” He said sternly.
Diamond Tiara signed again. “Ok, I’m sorry I hit Spike” She said, this time a bit more convincingly.
“And I’m sorry too for insulting you.” Silver Spoon said. She felt more apologetic than Tiara did.
Filthy nodded. “Well then, I shall bid you all a good day. Diamond Tiara, you are in very big trouble the moment we get home, young filly.” He said as he began to escort both her and Silver Spoon away.
Twilight looked at Spike with concern. “Why didn't you tell me this?”
Spike shrugged. “Well, it all happened pretty fast, and plus I didn't feel like stressing you out over something trivial.” but he was then grabbed and hugged.
“Spike, you can never stress me out.” Twilight said in a soothing voice to him, and she then frowned a bit. “And you're right, I do tend to make you stay behind and I’m so sorry…you're more than just an assistant to me, you were with me ever since I hatched you..and you deserve much better respect.”
Spike smiled as he hugged her back. “That is all I want, I want to spend more time with you and the other girls as well, and not be seen as some sort of joke to you.”
Twilight then let go of him and smiled sweetly at him. “You are never a joke Spike.” She said to him sweetly.
“Oh, and I need to tell you something important.” Spike said as Twilight let go of him.
“Oh, and what is it?” She asked him.
Spike looked at her as he nodded to Dinky who came up and he grabbed her hoof. “Me and Dinky are together.” He said.
“Heck yeah!” the filly said as both she and Spike planted a kiss to each other. The very act made Twilight’s eyes widen with shock as her muzzle dropped to the floor.
“You're dating…you have a girlfriend?” Twilight asked, still in shock.
“Uh…yea?” Spike said nervously, feeling a bit nervous, what was she about to say? What was she going to do?
But his fears were gone as Twilight scooped him up and crushed him in a big hug. “Sweet Celestia, I'm so happy for you!” She said with a big smile. “My little dragon has a girlfriend!” She happily exclaimed.
Derpy giggled at the scene and Dinky just blushed a bit. Spike then got out of the embrace and took a deep breath. “Yep, me and Dinky are together...and while the dance might not have gone as hoped as we planned.” He then felt a hoof on his claw and he smiled at Dinky.
“You could say,” Dinky said. “That it was the best dance ever.” She said as she kissed Spike on the cheek.
And she was right, the dance might not have turned out so good, what with Diamond Tiara ruining it, but it didn't matter. Spike and Dinky both discovered something even better than the dance, for they had discovered each other and now these two were now in a loving relationship.
“I can only imagine how the girls will react.” Twilight said with a smile. “Why don't we all go to the picnic together today, Dinky, and Derpy, would you both like to come with us?”
Derpy smiled and nodded. “As long as there's muffins!” She said happily as the others all laughed a bit, with Dinky resting her head on Spikes as the two smiled and laughed.
As I said before, while the dance didn't go as planned, there was no doubt that Spike and Dinky had the time of their lives, for they realized that they had each other.
